Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept of widening my world .I enjoy spontaneous friendships that I make in my trips. I've met amazing people through Couchsurfing. Some became even close friends.

Interests

I feel the period of the life is even shorter than the period of time between opening and closing the eyelid , thus I try during this life chance to meet as much as persons than I can and feel the way of the life that each person experince and I am struggling to be good as far as I can . I want you guyz to remember me in a way that I deserve .

MOVIES

As a film maker I have to admit that I am an addict of cinema, I definitely watch at least a movie every week. In my childhood I used to watch behind the scenes of movies and even how the cartoons made. My favorites are simple shots but sophisticated scenarios.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I BELIEVED IN MYSELF
